 | Don't cut your lawn too short. Raise the height of your mowing deck. Lawns | |
| cut too low will stress under the heat of the summer sun and will become susceptible to disease, weeds and pests. | ||
| Give your warm weather annuals a little maintenance. Pinch back and prune | |
| leggy growth. Watch out for slugs and apply a good commercial bait if necessary. Give them an application of 10-10-10 fertilizer. | ||
| Fertilize your bermuda lawn with 10-10-10 fertilizer, too. | |
| Treat your lawn for weeds. Apply a good commercial weed killer or hire | |
| Greensweep to apply a liquid weed killer. | ||
| Spray those pesky weeds in your bedding areas, walkways and street curbs. | |
| Give your bedding areas a fresh layer of mulch. | |
| Monitor you summer garden. Watch for evidence of disease and insect | |
| infestation and treat accordingly. You may still plant late season vegetable and fruit seeds or seedlings in the next week or two. | ||
| Give your bushes and trees a good trimming and pruning. | |
| Watch out for ants in the lawn. Apply a good commercial pesticide or bait. | |
| Spread a layer around the perimeter of your house, too. | ||
| Don't forget to feed your feathered friends! Use squirrel proof feeders filled | |
| with black oil sunflower seeds to attract a wide variety of birds. Use suet feeders for the woodpeckers and thistle feeders for the finches. Give them plenty of fresh water. |
